"GNOME 3.4 introduces a range of new features. A new document search facility allows quick access to content stored both on your device and online. Smooth scrolling means that moving through content is slick and graceful. New application menus, which are located on the top bar, provide a useful way to access application options and actions." And a lot more.

I was a happy Gnome 2 user for many years. I gave Gnome 3 a shot and stuck with it until 3.2 was released and when all my extensions, that actually made it somewhat usuable, stopped working I decided to explore a bit, with 4 years of using Linux I had only used Gnome 2 as my desktop, so I dabbled with Mate, Xfce, KDE and later, and very briefly, Cinnamon before I just gave up on Linux DE's and installed Openbox on my laptop & PC. I'm quite happy with the way it balances simplicity and advanced customization. I have no plans on ever switching anymore

I'm sure they'll fix everything about Gnome 3 eventually, probably within a release or two before Gnome 4 is released and everything gets messed up again and then everyone can complain about missing the good ole days of Gnome 3...
